nikkiwd Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Remember its self raising flour , also do not over mix, once everything is combined stop mixing and be gentle. I don't roll the mix out, just pat it down then dip the cutter in flour before cutting out so mix doesn't stick to the cutter. I can never get my damn scones to rise.

I've tried really hot oven and not twisting when cutting....I use s.r.f . I cheated last time as I used baking soda for the first time which worked but they weren't as nice. Also tried different measures of milk /egg etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akasully2 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Laying in bed with iPad on my lap. OH down the pub having a fair well drink with an old chum. Been researching Australian Labradoodles again! Spend too many hours thinking of the perfect dog name for it. We play a daft game in the car as we travel to and fro on the school runs: say any word (like road or town names) or object you see and discuss if it's any good. Tonight we advanced it to the surnames of famous people. Seymour or Finch are my current favourites. Also been researching how to groom them.

Akasully, can you please let me know what you find out about labradoodles as that is something on our shopping list for WA - a chocolate coloured one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully check out Lighthouse Labradoodles.... http://www.lighthouselabradoodles.com.au/ They have a good reputation. We nearly had one of their pups but went for a Choc Lab in the end from Blackboy Kennels http://www.blackboykennels.com.au/. They breed for the Guide Dog Association and are very reputable. The owner is President of the Lab Society in WA too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like living my dream of living in Oz or should I say, deprecating of living in Oz, it always involves a loving doggy by my side. It would be our first so it needs to be right. Hence the amount of research I do on them. I have compared golden doodles but my heart and head takes me back to the LBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't but it's no biggie. Grab yourself a pint of Little Creatures IPA when you get here, watch the boats bobbing around in the fishing boat harbour and watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean, you'll never want for warm, flat beer again.

pearcen Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I do like a Little Creatures IPA now again. One of the few beers I go back to in my many trips to Perth along with a Tooheys Old here and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
